Here are a few steps to get the GNOME desktop up and running using the binary packages. Note that the packages could also be installed by using the ports collection. For easy configuration i prefer to use VIM but it needs to be installed first. Use following command:\n<\/p>\n<pre>\npkg install vim<\/pre>\n<h2>\n\tInstalling the X Window System<br \/>\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n\tThis is needed by the desktop environment and can be installed easily by using\n<\/p>\n<pre>\npkg install xorg<\/pre>\n<h2>\n\tConfiguring the X Window System<br \/>\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n\tNow we need a few commands and edit to configure the system. As root do the following\n<\/p>\n<pre>\n<code>vim \/boot\/loader.conf<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>\n\tadd this line at the top:\n<\/p>\n<pre>\n<code>kern.vty=vt<\/code><\/pre>\n<h2>\n\tInstalling GNOME desktop<br \/>\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n\tIt&#39;s time to install your graphical interface&#8230;\n<\/p>\n<pre>\n<code>pkg install gnome3<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>\n\tafter installation add this to \/etc\/fstab\n<\/p>\n<pre>\n<code>proc          \/proc       procfs  rw  0  0<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>\n\tnow everything should be ready.
